I've always had mixed and lightly ambivalent feelings towards them. However, I saw one used while going through customs at the import tonight. Oh I would sayi understand why for his safety and peace of mind for everyone else. Even with the harness, he was running around, rolling around on the floor, accidentally hitting…

No

Agreed, add stereotyping, prejudice, and profiling. All gradiations on a spectrum. Sometimes very hard to differentiate.

I don't know if it is, but Ithink it is possible. However, it might be more in reference to the police department. maybe not all out racism per se, but racial stereotyping. I don't mind it being explored. I am interested to see if it plays out that way or not. lol, Oh wait.... you were adding to the list. LOL, well I left…

that was my intention, but i'm not so clever i think.

No, but there are indicators or commonalitites that are shared with people of a certain view. What is the saying, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck.... Also these are indeed things that would perk my antenae up to see what might be behind it. Like I said, I don't think that someone who might have racist…

On another note, this whole Trayvon Martin case has been so sad to me. And now seeing a picture of Zimmerman in front of the judge is just sad. It is just all around sad that we have two hurting families. Two lives paths forver altered. Trayvon is dead. Zimmerman will have to contend with stigma and obstacles for a long…

LOL, no I do not. racism is way too complicated of an issue. Just though it would trigger a good discussion.

You are as uninformed as everyone else. You have formed an opinion from what you have heard from the media and have chosen a side. Others have formed a different opinion and have chosen a side or have chosen to stay neutral. That is it.

Enough already man. Now there is a conspiracy by the federal government, or the black officials, to allow "Black" criminals to go unpunished? I suppose someone else might have an idea what you are talking about, but I'm suspecting most don't. So if you are aware of some injustice that is going on, then take action. Write a…

I did come across something online that also included descriptions, something I did not do due to time, plus I figure a debate might flesh it out. Here is the link to give credit. racismschool.tumblr.com/.../you-might-be-a-racist-if-online-edition You Might be a Racist if… (Online Edition) ((Note: These are all things…

O_O Ok, wow. So what was the purpose of this statement, please kind sir?
-
It is the stockholm syndrome, not an apples to apples comparison. Was just making the point that just becasue someone has "black friends" doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't racist. They often see their "friends" as the exception. And some minority seek to be that "other" or exception. I've been "othered" quite a bit…

Some slaves defended their masters. Some victims defend their victimizers, that doesn't really prove someone isn't. Again don't know if Zimmerman is or not, but not closed off to the possibility based on his friends or race. I think it would do good for us all to examine our core beliefs. I won't speak for unknown_sister,…

 Fbmandy55 had posted a topic about race and crime that more or less went through what makes a crime a hate crime. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/549620-crime-based-on-race Another member named uponthisrock had a pretty eloquent response as to why some murders are viewed differently.  I've pasted it below. I do…

Intovert here! Here is a list of top 10 myths about intorverts I read awhile back. Love it. If you google it there are a bunch of sites, so don't know who to credit right now.

Awesome job Zoe. One thing hasn't changed,you are still beautiful! Keep up the good work, it is indeed a journey.

Lol, those are huge! I only got to a ddd myself. Yeah, a binder might do it. Or a binder and a couple of sports bras. :laugh:
-
I double up. The tightest bra I have, with a regular sports bra on top. Seriously, sports bras are way too expensive! I don't care about the flashing, but that much flesh bouncing up and down does not feel good. Good excuse, but try a different one. :happy: :tongue:

Knowing I was part of a challenge helped me to push myself. Because there were certainly days tht I didn't want to!

cool, thanks. It's in menu form, so it is helpful. Just trying to figure out how difficult it might be to get that high, trying to build muscle.

Stole that last one.

Mine is a variation of this. "I hurt whether I do or don't so I might as well do what I want." (I have fibro) But recently I found, "fat lasts longer than flavor". While I am working out i just have to keep reminding myself "you can do this", "only ___more minutes", "You couldn't even do this much before, keep going". But…
